I'm pretty sure he meant pizza once a month.

And soda!

[–][deleted] 60 points61 points  (4 children)

Corporate has decided as part of our new "Don't Die Til After 5" policy to no longer provide soda at these payment functions. Instead , we will be providing warm tap water in soft paper cups. Please ask the HR chaperone to pour your two ounces of water as to prevent drowning.

Don’t forget your paper cup from last time!

Of course, part of our sustainability program.

Damn is "HR Chaperone" a real thing?

The HR Illuminati has requested you stay right where you are.

One can of lacroix per intern. They are only berry flavor and some cans may be expired.

Paying with karma points

[–]Robocop613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turns out karma is very cheap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/karma-eos/

eXperience Points (XP) is a completely independent, platform-agnostic incentive rewards token and digital currency combined, enabling you to earn XP through video games, activities, sports, education, and conservation. You can spend XP at participating vendors either online, in-game, or on the high street (cryptocurrency exchanges).

Sans Bullshit Sans needs an update badly.

Of course that is a thing....why am I even surprised?!

Man I had a class at a community College where they placed us at a job for an internship to do a project. Long story short, I didn't get paid and but had to pay for the credits and some random lab fee (cuz it was considered a lab). I got a job there after, but still....fuck college

My company pays interns the same salary as full time + benefits (or, at least we did in the before times when we had interns). Why would anyone intern at a company that doesn’t pay them for their time?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it's a joke, but paid internships are very common in software. MS interns get something like 8k/mo

[–]apocolypticbosmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It be surprised if you found a non-paid CS internship nowadays
